Question

Find the perimeter and area of the polygon with the given vertices.

W(5,−1), X(5, 6), Y(2,−1), Z(2, 6)

Answer 1

Perimeter: 20, Area: 21

Explanation:

• Based on points (2,6) and (5,6) : w = 5 - 2 = 3
• Base on points (5,6) and (5,-1 ): l = 6 - (-1) = 7

• Perimeter: 2 x (3 + 7) = 20
• Area: 3 x 7 = 21
